In the House of Commons Lord Pai . meksto : w moved that a select committee be appointed to searph the journals of both Houses of Parliament , Jn order to ascertain and report on the practice of each House , with regard to the several descriptions of Bills imposing or repealing taxes . The motion was ultimately agreed to * and ^ hat the _ number of thfr committee should be 21 , and the Members to the number of 19 were nominated . On the motion by Lord PALMERSTOKr that the House at its rising do adjourn till Thursday next , Mr , T . Buncombe asked whether , in conseqilence of the bribery and corruption reported fto prevail at elections for Gloucester and Wakefield , Her Mfliestv ' s Government had anything to propose upon the subject ;

    against the prosecution . The ATTOByEY-GEifEBAi . observed that the reasons he had heard were not adequate to discharge him from the obligation cast upon him ; but if any member would move a resolution that the Attorney-General should not proceed with the prosecution , he would not oppose it ; unless the whole thing was a farce and mere hypocrisy , he was officially bound to institute this prosecution . After some further discussion the subject dropped , and the O'Donoghtte called attention to a proclamation issued by the Government in Ireland , containing a caution intended to prevent Irishmen from taking service with the Pope .

    if not , by what right and for what purpose the issue of new writs to those places was delayed . Mr . M . Milnes was of opinion that the suspension of these writs was demanded by public opinion ; that it was a punishment in the right direction , the offence being of a public and political character .

    Works , and the work commenced . It will be a trifle short of 700 feet in length , covering somewhat about the same space as the Great Eastern steam-ship , and probably the grandest purely horticultural building in the ¦ world . It will occupy au extensive area on the right-hand side of the grand lawn avenue , leading from the Patm House to the Pagoda . The whole noble domain of 300 acres is now in all its floral beauty and splendour , and beautiful almost beyond description .

    admission for ; all . Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear .- —The annual meeting of this Institution wasJield , last Wednesday , in the board-room of the dispensary , Dean street , Soho-square ; Dr . Rowe was in the chair . The report stated the dispensary was founded in 1816 , under the patronage of their late Majesties George IV . and William IV ., and of Her Majesty the Queen , the Prince Consort , the King of the Belgians , and ruany persons of rank . It was designed exclusively for the treatment and cure of an extensive class of diseases of the ear , and of a kindred nature . During the past year , 1 . 391 patients had been admitted , of whom 386 had been discharged cured ; the remainder , under treatment , consisted of clerks in offices , governesses , needlewomen , domestic servants , artisans ,

    soldiers , sailors , and police . Upwards of 100 patients attended twice a week to receive advice from the medical officer . Although the funds have increased , they are not commensurate with the great increase of applicants , and the committee are obliged to make an appeal to the public for further aid . The chairman then said , it was unnecessary for him to speak at any length-on the benefits which this noble institution had oemiifrrfA nq mankind . There were several cases where cures had been effected after some yeais' deafness , and thus , by the aid of this dispensary , many people had been thoroughly . restored to the full enjoyment of the sense of hearing . The report was adopted ; and after addresses from the Rev . W . Curalet , Mr . Trench , and Mr . Clark , the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to Mr . Harvey , the medical officer of the institution , and to the chairman . * ' Beware of Counterfeits" is a caution which , however old and unheeded , loses nothing-of its necessity at the present day , when scarcely any article of domestic use ; possessing more than common merit , is exempt from cheap and trashy imitations , the makers of which , by tempting shopkeepers with larger profits , induce them to palm off the spurious articles for the genuine . As an example of this we may instance the following : Three ladies Called lately at a respectable grocery establishment , and inquired at the proprietor his reason for not sending them the Glknfikld Patent Starch aa before : upon which , he made some

    frivolous excuse ; but the ladies administered to him a severe rebuke , and requested him to send at once and remove the trashy imitation which he had sent them ; remarking , that if he had no Glenfield they would procure it elsewhere . This shopkeeper , no doubt , felt too keenly , the humiliation of having such a well-merited rebuke openly administered to him in his own shop to attempt a repetition of such deception , and it would be well if all shopkeepers who are guilty of similar practices would thereby take warning . When we hear of such practices we can more fully realize the importance of the advice , " When you ask for Glen field Patent Starch , see that you get it . " R . Wotherspoon is on each packet .

    The Mysterious power of the Magnet is most beautifully developed by Mr . F . Herring , of 32 , Basinghall Street , in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and combs , which are the Remedy for Grey Hair , Weak or Falling Hair , Neuralgia , Nervous Headache , Rheumatism , Stiff Joints , &c . His Teazle Brushes for Cloth , Velvet , &c , are admirable ; they not only cleanse , but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner . The Public are cautioned against Counterfeits .
